Haniyeh Says “Israeli” Flotilla Query Misleading

Palestinians considered the Zionist enemy's decision to conduct an "Israeli" probe over its attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, as misleading and aiming at avoiding an international investigation.

Tel Aviv issued on Monday an internal probe to investigate "Israel's" deadly attack on the aid-carrying flotilla heading to Gaza.

Despite international demands for an impartial investigative committee, the "Israeli" probe includes only two foreign observers, who have no say on the proceedings and conclusions of the commission.

""Israel" is seeking to mislead and deceive the world's public opinion by avoiding international demands for an independent commission," Palestine's Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said on Tuesday.

"The terrorist cannot investigate himself," Ma'an news agency quoted the Hamas official as saying.
